Wood Squares create a fiberglass grid between the blocks that improves adhesion of the skins and slows water intrusion as well as maximizes your core material. Overall Squares provide a stiffer laminate without sacrificing any strength . . . that's why you see them on every hatch made.

Willy, Franco and I toured the Pursuit plant last year w/Franco's brother who DOES know what he's talkin' about, he said Pursuit uses the squares to conform to a curve in the design...which the top of the cuddy is; curved and made of squares...also the transom is curved...the gas-tank hatch lid isn't curved, but hey...they were on a roll by then...

I'd post some pics of it, but Franco's brother is well connected and "asked" us not to post any of our pics to the web
